Rothko & Second Hand Poet - We Are Not The Way We Were c/w To Be Not Alone - 7"

This single is the debut collaboration between Mark Beazley’s Rothko and Second Hand Poet, aka Jamie Tipson.

These two songs tell of the need for metamorphosis, the need to escape the confines of our enforced surroundings and relationships, and of coming to terms with ourselves in doing so. Featuring just bass and voice, Rothko and Second Hand Poet have woven an intricate tapestry of the human condition in 2020.

Mark Beazley has been releasing music under the name Rothko since 1999, with collaborations along the way with Susumu Yokota, BLK w/BEAR and Caroline Ross, and now with Second Hand Poet.
